Thank you for all the well wishes, means a lot. My ribs are a bit sore. Feel like I’ve been hit by a bus...

The super-strong hunk came out of hospital hours later merely grumbling: “My ribs are a bit sore.”

But the vehicle had a shattered front window, dents and scratches and was put out of action until further notice after the late-night collision with the 14st 2lb fly-half.

Sale Sharks star Danny was in fancy dress and make-up leading pals on a pub-crawl when he was knocked down in Leeds city centre.

Witnesses feared the worst when medics carefully put the motionless 25-year-old on a stretcher. But just 13 hours later Cipriani emerged from hospital on crutches sporting a black eye, cuts and bruises but no permanent injuries.

He tweeted: “Thank you for all the well wishes, means a lot. My ribs are a bit sore. Feel like I’ve been hit by a bus...”

Sexy TV star Kelly, 33, was in London recording an episode of BBC2 comedy quiz show Celebrity Juice as Danny took part in the traditional students’ pub crawl called the Otley Run dressed as Wizard Of Oz characters.

Bus company First said: “The police have investigated this incident and have reported that First and its driver are not at fault.”

Student Molly Bridgeman, 18, who saw the incident, tweeted: “The front right corner of the bus was caved in. There were four police cars there. It was horrific.’’

Other Twitter users were more light-hearted after learning the England star was OK.

Danny’s Sale Sharks team-mate Andy Powell, 31, described the incident as “the best tackle of the season”.
